Lusty desire, with "the” (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hots

'lusty desire with the' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for hots that I've seen before include "Heats (colloq.)" , "Intense sexual desire" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
